Thanks again to GlissGirl99, and also to TatlTails and Net2 for the reviews! They mean a lot to me! For those of you who enquired about the plot line, well let's just say there's a massive plot twist in this chapter! So I hope you like that! And those who inquired about Fi's character, yes I know Fi is an emotionless sword spirit, but I figured there had to be one exception to her emotionlessness, and I decided that would be Ghirahim, anyway! Enjoy the chapter! xxx
The heavy thumping beat of the music could be heard blocks away, along with the laughs, shouts, and screams of drunken teenagers. Midna giggles, a glass of pimms in her hand, not her first one too. She grins, making her way over to Link, hanging off his kneck, she laughs
"Hey Midna… are you ok?"
"Yuuurrr funny Link, alwaysss dressinnin green and you wonder, why people think you sho funny?"
"How much have you had to drink Midna?"
"Jusssa couple o'glasses, I'm fiiine. Zelda thinkshyour sweet and shy…" She giggles, touching her finer tip to his nose, laughing
"Ok Midna, let's get you to bed, you're clearly drink out of your mind" He takes her weight and helps her as she stumbles up the stairs, he pushes open the door to Ghirahim's bedroom and lays Midna down carefully on the bed, pulling the sheets up around her shoulders
"Your suchagood fwend Link! You ttak care of me… Hurry link! Go tooo my palassss, take my finest servant, his name is Foojoo…"
Link laughs as he draws the curtains and lays a glass of water down on her bedside
"Get some sleep Midna"
"Night mummy…"
He laughs, carefully closing the door behind him, he makes his way down the stair case to the living room where Fi and Ghirahim are dancing together, he forces his way through the sea of dancing bodies to where Ghirahim and Fi are stood
"Have you seen Zelda?" he asks
Ghirahim frowns, leaning in closer "WHAT?"
"Have you seen Zelda?" He asks, a little louder
But Ghirahim shakes his head again "WHAT?"
"HAVE YOU SEEN ZELDA?" Link bellows
Ghirahim backs up, surprised "Link! There's no need to shout! She's in the kitchen with Groose"
"Thanks…"
Link makes his way out of the room and suddenly it dawns on Fi "She's in the kitchen with Groose…"
"Yeah?" Ghirahim asks, not yet noticing
"Drunk Groose…"
"Yeah?"
"Drunk Groose who has feelings for her!"
"Crap!"
The two of them shove through the dancers, hurrying over to the kitchen as fast as they can, eventually they break through, but from the moment they enter the room the scene is clear. Zelda stands up against the units, watching worriedly as the scene unveils. Groose and Link stand face to face, and Link looks angry…
"I heard you!" He shouts "Don't you dare try to deny it!"
"I didn't do anything!" Groose replies, looking a little flustered
"You were using that ring to wish that you could be with Zelda!"
"I didn't! I wished that I could kiss her"
"Oh like that's better!" Link says, sarcasm obvious
"I just wanted to know what it was like!"
"Some best mate you are" Link says, turning away
"Don't get all high and mighty on me; you screwed every rule in the book when you dated her even though you knew I liked her!"
"You never told me you liked her!
"Yeah but you still knew…"
But their argument is interrupted; a tall individual enters the kitchen, his presence making all voices silent, Groose nods, straightening up
"All right Vaati?"
Vaati looks carefully around the room, before walking slowly over to Groose, his footsteps thudding in the empty silence, he slips his big arm around Groose's shoulders, and turns to look directly at Link "You causing my boy Groose any trouble?"
Link says nothing, just stares silently at Vaati, who steps slowly closer to him, and grabs him by the scruff of his green tunic, pulling him up to his toes
"I said are you causing my boy Groose any trouble?"
Link tries to talk but his throat is dry, even just looking Vaati in the eyes scares him a little, Vaati just drops his collar, letting Link back to his normal height
"This kid's showing me no respect; you wanna take this outside kid?"
Link says nothing, just shakes his head. Vaati laughs, turning to Groose "Groose, teach this kid the rules of fights, then bring him to meet me out the front in five minutes"
And with that Vaati leaves the room, leaving nothing behind but silence and a shaken Link, he turns to Groose, shocked "Why's he gone outside? I told him I didn't want to fight him!"
"You can't say no to a fight dude! You've got to fight him now!"
"What?" Asks Zelda, stepping forward "There's no way he can get out of this?"
"Not even slightly…" Ghirahim states, staring at Link "Good luck, Vaati's ruthless"
"Oh my god… Fi! Where's my master sword?"
Ghirahim laughs "Sword? You can't use a sword! You've got to fight with just skin!"
"Great… I'm totally and utterly screwed, thanks a lot Groose…"
"What's taking this kid so long? Vaati asks, arms crossed, crowds already gathering in a circle, waiting for the fight to start, and slowly, solemnly, Link makes his way out of the door, stepping into the circle opposite Vaati
"You ready to fight kid?"
Link just nods, not uttering a word. The crowds begin to shout as Vaati raises his fists, egging him on, telling him to "Crush that weedy green shrimp" Link raises his fists too as Vaati sidles closer to him, he swings a punch but Link ducks out of the way, Vaati throws his fist at Link's stomach but he backs off and counters with a kick to the chest, Vaati stumbles back, growling. Just as Groose, Fi, Ghirahim and Zelda appear through the door
Groose holds his hands up to his mouth, shouting out to Link "Aim for the face buddy!"
Link turns away for a moment to look at Groose, who mouths the word "Sorry" Link nods, and turns back to the fight, but it's too late; Vaati throws a punch that hits Link in the jaw, sending him reeling back wards
"Look at the shrimp, can't take a punch, no wonder his girlfriend wanted to kiss someone else" Vaati says, laughing. Link growls, jumping to his feet, he takes a running charge at Vaati, forcing him onto his back, Link throws himself seated onto Vaati's chest, and begins repeatedly punching him in the face, his knuckles sore, aching from the impact, just running off adrenaline
"Here! Vaati, take this!" Link doesn't see the face of that voice, didn't even see what they throw. But Vaati grabs it fast
"Link look out!" Zelda screams, but it's too late, in a flash of silver, he feels the pain emanating from just below his shoulder blade, he looks down, and see's the knife digging into his skin, he swallows hard, and falls back to the ground. Vaati scrabbles to his feet, and pulls the knife from Link, before him and his friends run off down the road. The circle begins to disintegrate as Link's four friends run to his side
Groose whispers "Link… I'm so sorry"
But he doesn't reply, just lets out a low grunt as blood begins to soak through his green tunic, Zelda swallows hard, and begins forcing the buttons open on his tunic, she pulls the fabric off his shoulder to reveal the wound, she takes a deep breath "Ghirahim hand me your cape… quickly!"
He does so obediently and she carefully holds the red fabric to the stab wound
"You're going to be ok Link, I promise… WOULD SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE?"
Ok guys, admittedly, I know that Vaati isn't in Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess but I really wanted to use him for this big fight scene! And just to let you know I'm going on holiday from Monday so I don't know how regular updates will be, but I promise I'll try to update :) xx
